The assertion that Guy Fawkes is viewed as a martyr etc “especially amongst a minority of Catholics in the United Kingdom” is absurd and unsupported by the source linked to. Some Catholics may feel a discomfort about the history of it all, but there is no difference in attitude towards him by Catholics or others. All that V for Vendetta mask stuff has nothing but nothing to do with Catholicism, and suggesting otherwise is divisive. Jimquk (talk) 07:50, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
When Guy Fawkes died, it 2 centuries before London started growing; there were no police districts nor postal districts to refer Westminster as London that time. Westminster was a parish in 1605, so it is more like Guy Fawkes being dead at Westminster, Middlesex. LDas12345 (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused by dates in the article. The lede notes that Fawkes was discovered and captured on 5 November, but doesn't give a year. It does give 1605 for the year of the Gunpowder Plot, but I think it should be restated for 5 November, and 1606 for the year of his execution (if those are the correct years). Further down the lede we say that Guy Fawkes Night has been celebrated every year since 5 November 1605, but if that date was when he was captured, how was the celebration observed at the same time? The law proclaiming it a holiday wasn't passed until months later. This is a featured article (although it hasn't been reviewed in more than a decade), it should be correct.
